My Inspirational Statue

Self-
made man, the statue I greatly admire and the principle I strongly
believe. "... left to his own devices, man will use his god-given talents to
be creative, productive, and prosperous. Using free will, he will better his
own situation and that of those around him, thereby influencing in a positive
way his own destiny..."

Swami Vivekananda Said...

"... get up, and set your shoulder to the wheel-how long is
this life for? as you have come into this world, leave some mark behind.
otherwise where is the difference between you and the trees and stones? - they
too come into existence, decay and die..." - Swami
Vivekananda

Adobe will be launching it’s beta version of new runtime called Apollo that will allow rich Web-based applications to run offline, said to be threaten the popularity of programming platforms such as Java and Microsoft .NET. The Apollo runtime must be installed on the desktop or embedded directly in the application to enable it to run locally, similar to how the Flash player runs Flash applications in the browser. Apollo will be available for free to both users and developers. >>
